Kitumba Script
- Thread starter Arpy
- Start date
From photos from the proposed Star Trek II photos it appeared the wardrobes had an upgrade, were there indications in the script the Klingons were getting a new wardrobe based on the particular characters sect within the Klingon culture?
What photos are those? Is there a link to them?
Wow, very cool. Thanks for sharing! I love your work

Ryan, you haven't seen these photos of the proposed Star Trek II? There all over this forum. Maybe I gave the impression they were Klingon photos. I'm wondering if there's a hint in the script they had a different look?

Yeah I've seen all those images before. From your previous post, I misread you meant there were Klingon sketches or images from Star Trek II (TV). My bad.

Oh, that rings a bell. I think I might've downloaded the two-part "Kitumba" script at one point or another, but damned if I can find it on my hard drive now.
And I know I've read at least parts of the "In Thy Image" script. We got to see a scene in Nogura's office where Kirk is forced to admit that he's the most qualified Starship commander available to take over the V'Ger mission, and I thought Kirk's reluctance worked pretty well. He certainly comes off as more sympathetic than he did in TMP. There was a scene of Kirk recruiting McCoy on Earth. McCoy's become a vet and says animals are "the only sensible patients I've ever had."
One draft of the "In Thy Image" script (Livingston's, I recall) was included in the Reeves-Stevens' Star Trek Phase II: The Lost Series book.

I wouldn't. Why wouldn't they want their film/show to fit into the larger Star Trek universe? It doesn't diminish the 60s feel at all for me when they acknowledge that stuff was made later.
Absolutely. Best part of fan films is the possibilities explored inside the universe.
Because it limits your options.
IMO, the finest effort of New Voyages/Phase II is "To Serve All My Days," a daring sequel to "The Deadly Years" written by D. C. Fontana that absolutely contradicts what came later in canon.It makes one wonder what cries of foul would issue should a fan film deliberately contradict what came later. Hell I do it all the time with my pre TOS ship designs that deliberately ignore everything thats been seen in post TOS productions.
If setting your fan film in the Star Trek universe limits your options, you may want to make a non-Star Trek film.
Or, you may want to go ahead make the kind of film you want to make.
Indeed.
Of course it limits your options. Every box limits your options. Maintaining fidelity to hundreds of hours of what's gone before limits things a lot. Some people want to make fanfilms based on a particular show as a lauchpad, and don't wish to be hemmed in by what a later show decided.
The entire point of fan fiction is that you can do anything you want. And as long as they're not using it as an excuse to make money from Trek, more power to them.
I remember being mildly annoyed when Hidden Frontier ended with a random aside where they stopped Romulus blowing up, and then realising how silly my reaction was
